Quote
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Smiley
That is  religion representing our best impulses.  Smiley
Acts of kindness and love may be less mentioned these days, but they are as more a part of religions than hate. Christianity and Islam have long traditions of helping the less fortunate. Christians who can do so are supposed to give 10% of their money via the system called "Tithing".  In Islam "Zakat" is one of the 5 pillars of Islam that all Muslims must uphold. Like Tithing, Zakat is a system to redistribute wealth via religious giving.  


In the USA, tithing 10% is taught by the fundamentalist, and not the mainstream denominations.  Some may disagree, but I have seen tithing as having been negatively viewed, I believe as the result of it's promotion by the TV evangelist "Mega Churches," with their numerous scandals.
I'm sure some of them want 90%.  "Tithe" does mean 1/10. But yes, few do give 10%.

Ignorance. They know nothing about it and that allows people to fill the gaps in their knowledge with whatever bias they have. It's also true that all people hear about are Islamic terrorists. Obviously the jihadists represent a very small number of Muslims.

I agree with you. This is so true. People are usually unaware and in oblivion of what is going on. Most people are prejudicial and just assume what the whole community will be like by hearing about nonsense stereotypes which is really sad . The solution to this probblem is by education and respect and appreciation of other people's principles and cultures.
Which is EXACTLY why I am asking simple, direct questions.

Was Arafat a Muslim?
Are you complaining a religion based on a single person ?
what are you even saying ? Many People just dont follow religion ,its that simple.
religion is like a community ,if they like it they join it ..(there can be bad people in the community ?)

I would agree with that.  But a few pages back in this thread, Muslims were arguing that such persons as "Islamic terrorists" were not Islamic and were not Muslim.

Unfortunately, education in America is being hijacked by a group of rich, right winged Catholic white supremacists, who want to teach creationism in science, remove sex-ed, and make mundane claims like how the founding fathers were Christian.

Was Arafat a Muslim?
Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa commonly known as Yasser Arafat and Yes he was Muslim and he was a Palestinian leader.....

Arafat was a Muslim.

Arafat was a Terrorist.

Let's please cut out all the propaganda about Islam "peace and love", okay?

Who told you Arafat was a terrorist ??
Would you please give me your point of view..??

I am trying to formulate a point of view.  Resident Muslims say "Islam is peace and love."  So I ask "Was Arafat a Muslim."   Answer - Yes.  So I go look up Arafat's direct connection with hundreds of terrorist acts.

Now there is a contradiction.

1.  People claim Islam is peace and love and everything nice.
2.  People claim Arafat is a Muslim.
3.  Historical evidence is Arafat is one dirty, nasty terrorist.

I would like to resolve contradictions such as this if possible.  Otherwise my conclusion is that there is a diversity of opinion within Islam, and there is also opportunism in opinions voice within Islam.   In other words, there is a high level to which I cannot trust things said about Islam to be true or accurate.

I am here to just say one thing? Why do YOU hate islam? and you should really give a valid reason not a shitty one that says 'Because media'
and Yes, I am a muslim for those who ask, just tell me, come out of your shell and say why you HATE it, and I could be here to clarify things to you.
Also here is something that most people mistake about islam is that "Islam hates other religions" for this I say, Islam does not hate ANY religion, but it suggests to 'invite' them to islam, as slowly, and peacefully, even if they refuse, you can try and try, until it's their choice, you stop. and for all the wars that happened, it's because the other religions decided to come into war on Islam.

If you need anything clarified, I am here to answer you, don't be scared, I won't be offended by anyone, also haters, you can reply, I won't care Wink

There was another question of a different thread which asked why Islam hates people. I don't hate Islam or any religion. I respect everyone's opinions and ideas , it doesn't matter what religion you are in. We are all humans  our motive is to be happy and make others happy too. Barring me, I think that other people only have ignorance and narrow minded thinking , that is the only reason . 



Respect a person first just because he is a person. Then, if he has a right religion, respect him even more.

Quote

Everyone has religion. Each person's religion has to do with the things he believes and then acts out in his life. Since people are basically the same in the essence of what they are - even though they are different in the size and depth and scope of the parts of their essence - empathy and sympathy for and between all people is of utmost religious importance. Of second importance is respect (or not) for the religion of other people.

Islam is somewhat of a detestable religion. Not because of the people, but because of the violence directives. Those Islamites who are peaceful in the face of the the violence directives in their formal religion, are to be respected more because of their personal religion - peace, which is against much of Islamic formal religion - rather than because of their formal religion.

The hate-of-Islam part comes because some outwardly peaceful Muslims are inwardly violent, and are deceiving others into thinking that they are peaceful when they are not. Thus, they are going against true religion which is quoted above.

However, there are deceptive people in all religions. But it is Islam that makes the "deceptivity" seem right.

All the violence and suicide missions you see that the media propagates 24/7 are are un-Islamic. At its core, Islam is truly a religion of peace, a message reiterated many times throughout the Quran. The Quran calls its way "the paths of peace" (5:16) and states that God dislikes any disturbance of peace: "God loves not aggressors" (2:190). Additionally, there has been a fatwa (or religious decree) speaking directly against terrorism and suicide bombings, stating they are unjust, evil and have no place in Islam. People who perpetuate violence in the name of Islam are no more true to their faith than Christians who blow up abortion clinics. The religion itself has a deep commitment to social justice. In addition to the practice of Ramadan enabling Muslims to experience hunger as a poor and hungry person might, another of the five pillars of Islam is to help the poor through a donation of zakat. Put simply, Muslims must give 2.5 percent of their savings to the poor, as zakat is a requirement of those who have accumulated wealth.
Okay, you tell us.

Why do people hate islam?

I think is that in fact now the people possess a way to the freedom, they are in security , they are relatively safe. they are not pushed by the injustices of there systems to take appreciation of the truth of Islam.  this is why the (Islam) is vulnerable, this is why the hate of islam is as this much achievable.

 Is just an opinion, The times that we live in do not give an direct vision of the reality.
 maybe that is the compensation, the alternative to the isolation from the outside world. We have option to easy access what is far from us but is so confusing, mixed with all things landed in one-time.
